    Cancelling on the day of travel

    Yesterday, 3 hours before departure, I had to cancel our per-adl flights as the flygirl had a dose of gastro and bad headache. We had red E tickets and when I mentioned we were waiting for the doc to come and see my wife, Qantas put the unused portion of the fare on hold for us. I rebooked this...

    Travel planning software - Advice please

    Thank you so much for that information. It was only recently that we discovered he was KIA in Albert, so I'm still researching the town. I'll add that to the list of things to see! We then need to go to the Borre British Cemetery where he is buried.

    Travel planning software - Advice please

    My wife and I are looking at a longish trip next year from ADL-SYD-LAX-LAS-CDG-LHR-SIN-ADL. I tried using the QF Round the world planner, and it sort of worked, but it does not allow you to see what costs go with each sector as you go. I would like to use QF as much as I can, but I guess other...

    Qantas Premier Money Card - on line application!!!!!!!

    I'm over the "experience" - call me thin skinned, but I'm fed up trying to understand someone overseas. Had 2 more calls asking for more information, and 1 had to call back as I had no idea what they were trying to ask for. I own a retail business and normally don't answer my mobile when I'm in...

    Qantas Premier Money Card - on line application!!!!!!!

    Not sure if this is the right place for this, so mods please feel free to move if required. A week ago I decided to apply for a Qantas Premier Money Card, and to do it online. After all, there were so many prompts on the QFF website and facebook, it seemed a good idea. After filling in all the...

    Passenger attempts to enter coughpit on MH128

    Why not open the cabin door and push the perp out? ONLY JOKING! But the 60 or more minute delay does sound "odd" considering he was restrained, and the authorities would have known that.

    Flying into Singapore for a holiday - any cash need at airport

    OK, odd question, but I promised my wife I would ask! When she went to Singapore last time (30+ years ago!), she needed to have local cash to pay and leave the country. We are going back on Thursday, and I am asuming, and hoping, that this no longer occurs, and we just arrive and leave as...

    787-10 photo

    When I was there, we had 3 Dreamlifters on the ground at the same time, and one was taxiing out. You can take photos from the roof of the main building before, and after the tour, but definitely NO cameras or phones on the tour - and they do a metal detection check before you board the bus.

We hit SEVERE turbulence between Launceston and Hobart and I will NEVER forget the look of terror on the face of the flight attendant as she was spreadeagled on the ceiling of the aircraft above me!!! She was looking down at me, and...
